      Provider must provide a qualified team of professionals with relevant certifications, such as Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), or Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), and staff members trained in Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia care. These professionals should have experience in supervising participants, administering medication, assisting with activities of daily living, and addressing the medical and behavioral needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia.

      The operational staff provided by the applicant will play a critical role in ensuring the effective and safe operation of the Adult Day Care Program at the David I. Siegel Center. The staff must be qualified and capable of delivering high-quality care to individuals, as well as providing support to their caregivers. The staff will consist of a variety of professionals, including an administrator, nursing staff, direct care workers, and support staff, each of whom must meet specific educational and licensing requirements to comply with state and local regulations.

      The following areas must be addressed:

    • Approach and Methodology (20 pts)

      Professional experience and qualifications of key personnel that will be assigned to this project.

      This includes detailed information on the organization’s experience in operating similar projects, demonstrating a proven track record in designing and implementing therapeutic care programs that address the unique needs of individuals to include individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia.

      The Provider must outline their capacity to provide high-quality, person-centered care in a structured, supportive environment that promotes cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being. A key requirement is the inclusion of a summary of similar current and completed projects, to include any projects that focus on dementia or Alzheimer’s care. The Provider should highlight any ongoing or past adult day care programs, therapeutic services for individuals with cognitive impairments, or similar health and wellness programs aimed at improving quality of life for elderly or vulnerable populations.

      For each project, the applicant should provide the following: project name, client or organization served, scope of services, the number of participants, and any measurable outcomes or successes achieved. This will help demonstrate the organization’s ability to effectively manage and deliver services on a similar scale and complexity to the Adult Day Care Program at David I. Siegel Center.

      The Provider should also provide evidence of its capacity to manage both the operational and regulatory requirements of such programs, including compliance with state and local adult day care regulations. Examples of successful projects, particularly those that involved improvements to facilities, adherence to health and safety standards, or the integration of community-based care strategies, will strengthen the Provider’s qualifications.

      The Provider should also demonstrate their ability to handle the financial and administrative aspects of the program, ensuring sustainability and efficient management. The organization’s experience in overseeing program staffing, including qualified professionals trained in dementia care, as well as their approach to caregiver support, will be important factors in evaluating their qualifications. The County seeks a Provider that can leverage this experience to create a program that meets both the immediate and long-term needs of participants, while collaborating effectively with County staff, caregivers, and other community stakeholders. Past performance references, along with detailed descriptions of similar projects, will be critical in assessing the Provider’s qualifications and suitability for this important role.

      Applicants are also encouraged to provide evidence of positive feedback from participants, caregivers, and stakeholders from prior projects. This could include client satisfaction surveys, letters of recommendation, or case studies illustrating successful outcomes.

      Additionally, any relevant certifications, awards, or recognition for excellence in adult day care services or dementia care should be highlighted to further establish credibility and expertise. Evidence of strong past performance and satisfied clients will be essential in evaluating the applicant’s suitability for this program.

      Given the regulatory requirements that directly impact both the construction and operation of an Adult Day Care facility, applicants are strongly encouraged to demonstrate knowledge of, and experience with, Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) regulations. In Florida, Adult Day Care Centers must obtain both a license and a certificate of sanitation prior to beginning operations. Accordingly, applicants should provide evidence of past compliance with AHCA standards, including licensure experience and familiarity with applicable facility and programmatic requirements.

    • Financial Stability (20 pts)

      Providers must demonstrate financial stability and the capacity to manage all operational and site improvement costs associated with the scope of services.

      Submissions should include detailed financial documentation that illustrates the applicant’s capacity to manage operational expenses, fund necessary site improvements, and meet all regulatory and licensing requirements without financial constraints.

      Applicants are required to submit audited financial statements for the past three years, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements, to provide a comprehensive view of their financial health. If audited statements are unavailable, independently reviewed or compiled statements may be submitted, accompanied by an explanation of their validity.

      Applicants should provide a summary of their current financial position, highlighting key metrics such as liquidity, solvency, and debt-to-equity ratio. Evidence of access to sufficient working capital or credit lines to cover project costs, including unforeseen expenses or delays, must also be included. Applicants are encouraged to submit letters of credit or other guarantees from financial institutions as further evidence of their ability to finance the project.

      The submission should outline the applicant’s financial management practices, such as budgeting, cost controls, and risk mitigation strategies, to demonstrate their ability to effectively allocate resources and maintain fiscal responsibility. If applicable, applicants should include a record of successfully managing similar projects, with examples of how they ensured financial sustainability.

      Applicants must also provide details on their ability to meet the long-term financial demands of operating the program including staff salaries, facility maintenance, and program resources. Submissions should reflect the applicant’s understanding of the financial commitments required to maintain compliance with state and local regulations and to deliver high-quality services to participants.
